IN MY DM’S NO. 2
You asked, I’m answering. My DMs are always a mix of product recs, life advice, and the occasional “Where did you get that?!” moment. So, I’m bringing it all here—your most-asked questions, my current obsessions, and the little gems I’d text a bestie. Consider this your insider pass to everything I’m loving, learning, and living for right now. Keep the questions coming—this is our corner of the internet, after all. 💌✨
This Week’s Hot Takes:
HOW DID YOU END UP AT THE LOUIS VUITTON FASHION SHOW SITTING NEXT TO AJ FROM THE BACKSTREET BOYS?
Listen, even I had a moment where I was like, is this real life?! The universe really said—fashion, nostalgia, and main character energy all in one seat. It was such a surreal experience, and honestly, AJ was the nicest person. We ended up chatting for about 30 minutes, which felt like a total out-of-body moment. Major childhood dream unlocked.
I was actually invited to the show as a guest of one of my dear friends, and funnily enough, it was her husband who was originally supposed to sit next to AJ—not me. But hey, the universe has a way of working things out exactly as they’re meant to. And who knows… maybe he’ll be one of the next guests on the pod?! Stay tuned. 😉
WHAT ARE THE ELECTROLYTES YOU ARE ALWAYS POSTING?
First and foremost, I never expected 80% of my mid-30s to revolve around protein, collagen, and water intake—but here we are. So when I discovered Harlo, I had a full praise be moment. One drink, all the essentials: electrolytes, creatine, and collagen, minus the nasty stuff. And the best part? It actually tastes really good. I’m obsessed and never miss a day. Oh, and because I love you—use code OYSTA20 for 20% off. You’re welcome.
LINK TO THE GOLD CHUNKY EARRINGS YOU ARE ALWAYS WEARING
I swear, these Argento Vivo Natalia Hoops are my entire personality at this point. They’re the perfect mix of bold and classic—an instant outfit elevator. And because Auntie P loves you, you can shop their whole collection at 30% off using code OYSTA30.
BEST UNDER $50 BEAUTY PRODUCT YOU SWEAR BY
Easy: the BioDance Bio Collagen Reel Deep Mask for Poor Minimizing ($19.00). I put it on before bed once a week, and I wake up with the face of an actual baby. It’s that good.
How do you deal with imposter syndrome?
Oof, this one hits. Honestly, I remind myself that everyone feels it at some point—even the most successful people in the world. When I start spiraling, I literally ask myself, “What would 21 year old Paula do, because she moved without fear” and then I move accordingly. Also, keeping a folder of screenshots of nice messages people have sent me helps for those I am a fraud moments. Highly recommend.
What’s one thing that instantly makes you feel put together?
Slicked-back hair, a good perfume, and oversized sunglasses. No one will ever know if you’re thriving or just faking it till you make it. My current favorite sunglasses are these Loewe Signature Acetate and Metal Cat Eye Sunglasses.
Okay, I have to ask—where is that iconic New York sweatshirt from that you’re always wearing in your GRWM videos?
Ahh, the famous GAP sweatshirt! She’s basically a personality trait at this point. It’s the GAP VintageSoft State Logo Sweatshirt. It’s cozy, it’s oversized, and it just hits. And while you are at it, do yourself a favor and get theVintageSoft Highrise Boyfriend Joggers as well. I have them in just about every color and literally live in them. Thank me later.
That’s it for this week’s In My DM’s! Keep the questions coming, and who knows—yours might be featured next. 💌✨
